Goodbye Uncle Tom (1971) (4-Disc Limited Edition) [4K UHD]

Description: Goodbye Uncle Tom 4K (1971) Goodbye Uncle Tom 4K Blu-ray delivers truly amazing video and audio in this exceptional Blu-ray release Two documentary filmmakers go back in time to the pre-Civil War American South, to film the slave trade. THE FIRST MOTION PICTURE BASED ON HISTORICAL FACTS ABOUT THE RISE AND REVOLT OF SLAVERY IN AMERICA! The film considered too shocking for the world! Written, edited, produced and directed by Gualtiero Jacopetti and Franco Prosperi of MONDO CANE fame, this epic recreation of the American slave trade atrocities was both condemned as depraved exploitation and acclaimed as an unprecedented cry of Black anguish and rage. The Detroit Chronicle hailed it as "a graphic, moving, nerve-paralyzing film." Legendary film critic Pauline Kael called it "the most specific and rabid incitement of the race war." It became one of the most reviled and misunderstood films of its time. Five decades cannot diminish GOODBYE UNCLE TOMs impact or quiet its controversy as it has become even more relevant TODAY! In 1971, distributors forced the filmmakers to completely re-cut the film and radically re-write its extreme narration, removing more than 13 minute of race-war politics and inserting alternate scenes - creating what would become an entirely different film - before it could be released. Now more than 50 years later, both versions of GOODBYE UNCLE TOM can finally be seen in brand-new restorations, scanned in 4K 16-bit from their original negatives, with Dolby Vision HDR & newly restored DTS-HD Master Audio, and packed with over 5 hours of Extras!
